  1. New needle works! No audio out the other end, but there are a number of cut capacitors waiting for my Mouser order. And that is easily within my wheelhouse, tracing wires and looking for bad connections. Assuming the head is good🤔 #turntablerepair #repair #turntable

  5. Installed. The head does not match specs, wonder if it was swapped, or they had more than one choice of options. #turntablerepair #turntable #repair

  7. Second time I lost the screw on these cheapo sun glasses, and this time it was on grass, so no chance of finding it :-/ But nothing a small stick and a pocket knife couldn't fix. (I did cut off most of the top part afterwards) #thereifixedit #repair

  17. I posted about my printer going wrong a little while ago. This is also about a printer, but it's not mine.

    My mum's got an HP LaserJet 5. It's so old that the casing's gone yellow. Recently, it's taken to turning itself off after printing a few pages. Always after a full page, so there's nothing stuck in the paper path.

    Is this something that's likely to be diagnosable/repairable (say, at a repair cafe), or should it be sent to its final reward after a life well-printed?

  20. Put a spade on the end of the ground wire, after cutting some off. Need capacitors and a new needle still, plus rubber feet. All 3 mail order items. #turntable #repair

  22. Okay, the other project here. Opened this up again and added more lubricant to the center shaft. Turned it (impossibly stiff), lubricated more.. repeated, and suddenly it is moving more smoothly. Turntable starts up right away now vs needing assistance. May need to do this again. Also adjusted the up/down arm which now works again! Was also jammed, non moving. Required lubricant and working it until it started moving again. Gummed out oil seems to be the big issue. #turntable #repair

  24. Last week I noticed my phone had popped out of it's case a little bit so I pulled it out and cleaned the case, was wiping off the phone and something didn't feel right... the back was pushed off in the middle! So I ordered a new phone and and then decided to get a battery for the old one for a spare. Took about an hour but the back was already half off. I didn't put new adhesive on the back. LineageOS on this one, GrapheneOS on the new one.

  26. I can't believe it, I've fixed the damn thing! No images as to what it 'should' looks like, just a guess as to how it works. I thought this was for the bin, but it lives again!! Woohoo 🎉 #repair #sewing a bit bodgy, but it's working.

  28. Moin. Gibt es hier Menschys, die sich schon mal intensiv mit der Reparatur eines #Whirpool auseinandergesetzt haben. LF Fehler, Balboa Steuerung. Einiges habe ich schon gemacht, komme aber jetzt nicht mehr weiter.

  30. App says it is a wee bit slow. Probably friction because of the old oil still crusting up the center shaft. #turntable #repair

  34. Feet are also a problem. Not surprised, rubber does not like time. Anyway, all I could do at lunch break! #turntable #repair

  36. Turntable turns! But lots of friction on the center, unsure how that mechanism works. Need to go lubricate more stuff. The up/down tonearm mechanism is not working... was pretty frozen, and I lubricated it, but not quite doing it. #repair #turntable
